A man becomes a professional faster. Two brothers knock on the gate of a remote mansion. A monkey learns to talk and is set free. Seven dogs play a forbidden music. Someone yearns to transform into an Indian, another lights a candle on the road to Kalnta. Under the stairs of your house lies the mysterious Ondradek. And somewhere deep in the forest, an odd structure unfolds, unseen...
Twelve short stories written in Franz Kafka's unique style, twelve "knocks" on the gate of the unconscious that awaken the reader, while simultaneously pulling him deeper into the paradox.
Kafka, nearly a century after his birth, still speaks to millions of people (...) He seems to be the last sacred writer and the greatest mythmaker regarding the difficult existential state of modern man. —John Updike
The distinction Kafka makes between the world of his heroes and the world does not mean that there are two worlds, but that our ordinary perception of reality is not the true reality. — W. H. Auden
